There's a difference between having a nod here and there then having it forcefully and awkwardly put into every second sentence and scene like it was in the first episode. Not to the anniversary should spread to all 20 seasons of Power Rangers, and so far they've concentrated completely on the first. It annoys me because they only seem to be focusing on the first season with their nods and those nods are really badly dropped in, an anniversary does not have to have "Remember when they said this exact same line in the first episode of the first season?" every couple of minutes. Compare to Gokaiger; Goranger had an even amount of nods to every other series, it even shared first episode tributes with Shinkenger and Magiranger in the first episode. It came across much less nostalgia whore-y to the first season of a show that is meant to be celebrating every season.
And yes, its early and hopefully they will redeem this, but this thread is about opinions after the first couple of episodes and looking at how the toyline thus far has ONE non Megaforce or MMPR toy, the anniversary seems to be almost completely ignoring other seasons for the time being which in my opinion absolutely sucks.

And how, in the name of Hell, is Andros better then JDF? Jason atleast gives a damn about fans and the fandom, and about the series. And was such a better actor. Yes, when he first started, it wasn't very good. Then he grew. I hope they bring him back. For more than just an episode or two.

Firstly, JDF is not a ranger, Tommy is, so that's a really weird argument (not to mention as much as he cares about fans JDF has shown himself to be a bit of an ass on multiple occasions, especially to other PR actors, so he doesn't get a "great person" bonus). And secondly and more important to what I was actually saying, I was comparing achievements; Andros (albeit using Zordon) saved the entire universe including defeating Rita/Zedd's army, the Machine Empire and Divatox's army all of which fought Tommy far more then him. I just find a really hard pill to swallow when Power Rangers seems to force-feed us the idea that he is the greatest ranger ever when his achievements are far more minor to most other Red Rangers. Nostalgia ignored, Tommy hasn't done anything to really earn that title over other rangers either then being in lots of teams.
And no, he is not a good actor, at all. His acting in Dino Thunder was not much better then his earlier acting at all and I'm sorry but that is really the truth, for example, just check out his reaction to when he finds out that Trey knew Mesagog's identity; its the most cringe-worthy attempt at scorn and disappointment I have ever seen. Andros' acting wasn't anything to get excited about either but I never said it was. They were both terrible; Andros still holds the biggest victory in the PR Universe though and I don't see why he wouldn't be considered as good or even better then someone who's main achievement is being used for nostalgia a lot because he was popular with kids in the early 90s.
